Westinghouse Dryer 4.5kg
I replaced an old faulty dryer. The Westinghouse is good value, filter is easy to clean, very quite and easy to use. I recommend this product from the good guys. When I purchased it they were all sold out, had to wait to come in but for the money, go grab one.

quiet and efficient
We are extremely disappointed in the service we received when we purchased the item. We waited a total of about 19 days. The order was apparently accepted when there wasn't an actual appliance available. The delivery date was changed, in the middle of Winter when a dryer is most necessary, and I had to send an email and a message to try and get someone to assist us. In the end if was the installer who assisted us and we recommend him highly. The delivery was a "mess up" although the driver was helpful. We've been very long time customers of The Good Guys and this has been a huge disappointment to us.

At a glance
The Westinghouse 4.5kg vented dryer is a compact, easy-to-use option for smaller households, apartments or laundries where floor space is limited. Its wall-mount design, reverse tumbling action and timed programs make everyday drying straightforward. It suits buyers who want a simple, dependable dryer without extra complexity. The main limitation is its smaller capacity, which is less suited to large family loads.
What it’s great for
- Small Laundry Loads
- Everyday Clothes Drying
- Space-Saving Laundry Setups
- Secondary Dryer Use
Where it works best
- Apartments
- Small Laundries
- Units
- Compact Family Homes
Who it’s for
- Singles
- Couples
- Small Households
- Renters
- Space-Conscious Homeowners
Things to consider
Its 4.5kg capacity and basic timed drying setup are practical for small loads, but it offers less flexibility and lower load volume than larger or sensor-driven premium dryers.
Apartment suitability
Good for apartments with suitable venting access and limited laundry space, especially where wall mounting is preferred.
Energy efficiency vs category
5/10 - typical for a vented dryer, but generally less energy-efficient than heat pump alternatives.
Quick drying performance
7/10 - well suited to small everyday loads, with vented drying and hot setting supporting solid drying speed.
Noise level score
6/10 - typical audible operation for a compact vented tumble dryer.
Key benefits
- 4.5kg Capacity: A practical size for smaller households and day-to-day loads without taking up unnecessary space.
- Wall Mount Option: Helps free up floor space in compact laundries by allowing secure wall installation.
- Reverse Tumbling Action: Alternating tumble direction helps reduce tangling so clothes dry more evenly.
- Timed Drying: Lets you choose drying duration manually for simple control over different fabric types and load sizes.
- Warm and Hot Settings: Gives you straightforward temperature selection for lighter garments or heavier everyday items.
- Flexible Venting Options: Front or rear venting gives you more installation flexibility to suit your laundry layout.
- Auto Cool Down: Finishes the cycle with cooler air to help reduce creasing and improve unloading safety.
- Child Safety Lock Door: Adds extra peace of mind in homes with young children.
Q: Is the Westinghouse WDV457H3WB a good size for a small household or occasional drying?
A: Yes. The 4.5kg capacity suits smaller loads, making it a practical fit for one to two people, a small household, or backup drying when clothes do not finish air drying. It is less suited to large, frequent family-sized loads.
Q: Can the Westinghouse WDV457H3WB be wall mounted in a compact laundry?
A: Yes. This model has a wall mount option and includes a wall mounting kit, which helps free up floor space in tighter laundries. Its cabinet measures 795mm high, 600mm wide and 520mm deep, so allow room for access and venting as well.
Q: What does reverse tumbling action do on the Westinghouse WDV457H3WB?
A: Reverse tumbling alternates the drum direction from clockwise to anti-clockwise, which helps reduce tangling and bunching. That can improve drying evenness across mixed items, especially smaller loads that might otherwise clump together.
Q: Does the Westinghouse WDV457H3WB need to be vented, and can it vent in more than one direction?
A: Yes. This is a vented dryer, so moisture is expelled during drying rather than collected in a water tank. It supports front or rear venting, with or without an optional venting kit, which gives more flexibility when planning the laundry layout.
Q: Does the Westinghouse WDV457H3WB have sensor drying programs?
A: No. This model uses timed drying with warm and hot settings rather than sensor-based automatic programs. That keeps operation simple, but it also means the drying time needs to be selected manually to suit the fabric type and load size.
Q: How does the auto cool down feature help on the Westinghouse WDV457H3WB?
A: Auto cool down runs as part of the final stage of the cycle, lowering the temperature before the load finishes. This helps reduce creasing and also adds a useful safety benefit compared with ending the cycle immediately at full drying heat.
